Payment

[vinimarcon 3]

Hello Guys!
I hope you canhelp me.
My wife is American, and we both are living here in the US.
She is applying for the I130 form being my sponsor. Here are the forms we are sending:
- Form i130 (sponsor) and i130a (supplementary infos):  $535
- Form i131 Travel Permit : $575

- Form i485 Adjust of Status: $1,140

- i765 Work Permit:  $410.

- Form i864 Affidavit of suport:  NO FEE

 

So, I have to send the checks with the values.
My doubt is:  can I send just one check with all the values together, or do I have to fill one check for each form? In the second case, Do i put all the checks in the beginning of the papers, or do I put each check in the front of each form's page?

 

And since I already applied for the forms, and had it dennied because I applied for a Fee Waiver, Can I give up the Travel Permit and send again without it in the package?

 

Thanks you so far!

There's no payment for the I-131 or I-765 when filed alongside (or due to) an I-485.

 

I suggest 2 checks, since it's possible for the I-130 packet to be accepted by the I-485 being rejected.

I-130: $535

I-485 + biometrics: $1140 + $85 = $1225

 

If you want AP, you need to submit the I-131. As noted above, it's free.

If you apply for I-485 the 1440 +85 dollars for biometrics fee is the only thing you need to pay. That payment includes the I-765 and I-131. That's all

So, Let me see if I really understood it:

I just need to pay $535 for the i-130 + i-130A and
I-485 + biometrics: $1140 + $85 = $1225?

Don`t I need to pay for the Work Permit neither the  Travel Permit if I  send it all together?

And Do I only send the $85 payment for the biometrics, or do I have to send some form for it together?

Right.

 

Nope. Read the top of page 16 of the I-485 instructions (https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-485instr.pdf):

"Filing Form I-485 with Forms I-765 and I-131

If you properly file Form I-485 and pay the required fees, you may file Form I-765 and Form I-131 without paying additional fees. You may file these forms together, or if you choose to file Form I-765 or Form I-131 separately, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence that you filed and paid for Form I-485."

The $85 for biometrics can be included in the I-485 fee, making the total for AOS $1225. This covers the cost of doing the biometrics. No form is required.

Ok. So I will put 2 checks as you adviced me.
Do you think is it a good idea to send the medical exams with all, or wait them to ask for?

And I just need one payment for the biometrics, or I will need one for the Adjust + one for the travel permit?

I'll defer to others on the medical question...I know it's not required when doing AOS from a K-1, but from other visas you need the medical. But I believe they will just request it either at the interview or via an RFE later on. It's not a cause for the submission to be rejected. The risk with sending it earlier is that it can expire by the time they are ready to complete AOS, and then a new one is needed...which is certainly not optimal time-wise or finance-wise.

 

One biometrics fee for the I-485 will cover the green card, EAD, and AP.
